M49***05[Taste] It was my first time eating coconut chicken. I didn't expect it to be salty and fresh. The soup had a strong coconut flavor. There was a green vegetable in the seasonal vegetables that was delicious, but I don't know what it was. The coconut chicken was very large. Half a chicken and a seasonal vegetable were enough for two people.
[Environment] Went there in the off-season, not many people, clean and hygienic
[Service] The auntie was very enthusiastic, told us how to eat, and helped to prepare the condiments (very spicy). The boss lady was very nice and gave us coconut treasures when we left. We will come again next time❤️

We ordered a chicken, a bitter gourd fried egg, and a sweet potato leaf, which was basically enough for five people. The most distinctive dish was the Wenchang chicken, which was stewed with coconut meat and was very nutritious.
The place is not big, and you have to queue up during the peak season. I went there several times but never got to eat coconut rice. I heard that it is very popular and has a lot of customers. All the restaurants around here are following this example. The place is not big, and it is a family restaurant, which is quite a bargain, but it is delicious. People who have high requirements for taste can go there. The environment is really average.

Hainan's 460-kilometer East Coast Road is a driving paradise! These 8 free check-in spots are breathtakingly beautiful. Roading past coconut trees and waves, half road and half ocean, this "Coastal Idyll" route taught me what true freedom is! As I drove onto the East Coast of the Hainan Ring Island Tourist Highway, I truly understood the meaning of "Coastal Idyll"—coconut groves and rice paddies on my left, the glassy ocean on my right. Rolling down the window, the salty, humid sea breeze, laced with the aroma of tropical fruits, washed over me. This 460-kilometer stretch (Haikou to Sanya) runs almost entirely along the sea. It took me four days and three nights, and I've earned journey memories worthy of a movie. 🚗 Itinerary Overview: 4-Day, 3-Night Highlights Number of Days Trip Highlights Accommodation Recommendations Day 1: Haikou Qilou Old Street → Wenchang East Suburb Coconut Grove → Mulan Bay Lighthouse Sunset, Wenchang Coconut Grove B&B Day 2: Qionghai Boao Yudai Beach → Wanning Shimei Bay → Sun Moon Bay Surfing, Wanning Seaside Inn Day 3: Lingshui Fuli Bay Highway → Fenjiezhou Island → Sanya Houhai Village, Sanya Bay Seaview Hotel Day 4: Sun Bay Highway → Luhuitou Panoramic Views, Return Trip 🌴 Must-Try: These 5 Trips Will Make Your Trip a Miraculous One 1. Camp at Mulan Bay and Wait for the Milky Way Mulan Bay, located at the northernmost tip of Hainan, is home to one of the tallest lighthouses in Asia. When I arrived in the evening, the beach was nearly deserted. I pitched my tent and lit a bonfire. At 2 a.m., the Milky Way set, and the light from the lighthouse intertwined with the stars. Long exposure photos with your phone are perfect for capturing stunning starry night photos. Tips: Use the "Mulan Bay Campground" navigation. Parking is free, and nearby villagers sell fresh coconuts (5 yuan each). 2. Be a surfer at Sun Moon Bay in Wanning Sun Moon Bay, popularized by the movie "Summer Surf Shop," boasts gentle waves perfect for beginners. I paid 200 yuan for a two-hour rental with a trainer. The first time I stepped on a board, I was greeted by a coconut-lined road behind me and the azure sea and sky before me. I instantly understood what "freedom on the crest of the wave" meant. Tip: Surf clubs are concentrated in Tianxin Village. It's recommended to visit between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to avoid the scorching sun. 3. The "Coastal Cinema" from Shimei Bay to Shenzhou Peninsula This 30-kilometer coastal highway has been recognized as "Hainan's Most Beautiful Aerial Photography Spot." When I flew my drone, the highway appeared like a ribbon wrapped around the azure waters, with the red and white Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse standing at the end, reminiscent of a scene from "Gone Girl" (filmed here). 4. Drink Freshly Picked Coconuts at the East Suburb Coconut Grove The 500,000 coconut trees in the East Suburb Coconut Grove of Wenchang blot out the sun. I followed a local woman and learned how to use a long pole to hook a coconut. The juice I chopped open was three times sweeter than the commercial variety! In the evening, I cycled along the coconut grove path, where the dappled light and shadows reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz. 5. Shoot "Supercar Blockbuster" Photos on Sun Bay Highway Near Sanya, Sun Bay Highway curves along the mountains and the sea. Rent a convertible (300 yuan per day), put on some sunglasses, and the backdrop is a gradient jelly-like sea. Everyone on WeChat is asking if you've been to California Highway 1. 📸 Photography Tips: 3 Camera Positions to Transform You into a Travel Blogger · Mulan Bay Windmill Coast: Shoot at 6 a.m. to capture the white windmills against the backdrop of the ocean in the morning glow. A wide-angle lens with a low position will capture the beach and reefs. · Riyue Bay Haimen: After 4 PM, with favorable sunlight, the silhouettes of surfers against the coconut-lined road create a dynamic composition. Using a telephoto lens to compress the space makes it even more striking. · Fenjiezhou Island Cliff Restaurant: A drone shot from the top of the mountain reveals the water layered in blue, green, and cyan. Wearing a red dress is recommended to highlight the figures. 🍍 Food List: Enjoy authentic local flavors for just 20 yuan per person. · Wenchang Coconut Chicken: "Ruifeng Coconut Chicken" in the East Suburbs Coconut Grove. The chicken is tender and the broth is made with the water from three coconuts. 50 yuan per person. · Wanning Hele Crab: "Xiehou Seafood Restaurant" near Shimei Bay. Steamed crabs are rich in yellow roe with a secret sauce. Each crab costs about 120 yuan. · Lingshui Sour Rice Noodles: A roadside stall in Xincungang. Smooth rice noodles with dried small fish. A sour and spicy appetizer. 10 yuan per bowl. 💡 Practical Tips: Save this one for your guide to avoiding pitfalls. 1. Car Rental Options: Pick up your car at Haikou Meilan Airport. New energy vehicles are easily recharged (charging stations cover 92% of the coastal highway), but an SUV is recommended, as sedans can be difficult to reach on some of the wild beaches. 2. Off-peak travel: Room rates triple during Spring Festival and National Day holidays! March-May or September-November are recommended for less crowded and beautiful scenery, with hotels averaging 200 yuan per night. 3. Navigation Settings: Always set waypoints (e.g., "Mulan Bay → Shimei Bay Seaview Pavilion") to avoid being misled by navigation onto the highway. 4. Free perks: All observation decks and beaches are free, and even camping at Mulan Bay is free. 🎬 Short Video Production Tips Want to create a standout travel video? Remember these key points: · The first 3 seconds are crucial: Capture the attention with the most striking imagery (e.g., the Mulan Bay Lighthouse against the Milky Way or a surfing moment). · Keep the pace fast: Use aerial footage frequently to switch scenes, keeping each frame no longer than three seconds. · Leverage ambient sound: The sound of waves, the breeze in the coconut trees, and the paddling of surfboards can all enhance immersion. · Make captions stand out: Use large captions to highlight key information, such as "Free Check-in Spot" and "20 Yuan Per Person for a Happy Meal." One final surprise: Near Mulan Bay in Wenchang, I stumbled upon a wild beach called "Baohujiao." The reef resembles a crouching tiger, and at low tide, a hidden coral formation is revealed, where locals are digging for sea urchins. At that moment, I suddenly understood—the beauty of Hainan's eastern coast lies half in travel guides and half hidden in corners where serendipitous encounters are essential. #What's everyone doing during the National Day holiday? #Self-driving travel guide
